His:     A popular carnival game -
Hammer down, bell rung.


Hers:    A pot of water...
Rolling to a boil.


Yours:   A well-deserved scratch
Of the constant itch.


Mine:    A fist,
Uncurling.

That would be quite a popular carnival game, yes.

I'm not quite sure how this makes me feel. It offers at just a hint of the picture, I feel, leaving more questions than it answers. Who are the pronouns referring to, and do they overlap? Are any of these individuals happy? ("Well-deserved" implies yes) But I like that aspect, and the format works well for it.
